Today, was a whole day wasted. First in the morning, parents quarrelled, almost late for school. After assembly went for choir in COE. Sang some stupid Auld Lang Syne song for the farewell celebration of PChan leaving school. then practice till 8 40, had a 15 min break cum recess. A
After that, went to hall to rehearse for 50th anniversary. Our song is the first item. sang quite below par. Firstly cause atleast 80% of us never prepare, or no score. Secondly, because of the first reason, we were like a 20-person choir and not a 70-person choir. Thirdly, the hall has never been kind to us, we have never fared well in the hall or in fact big places because too big and too much space to cover, take for example last year the international competition. Then we got scolded by the producer and it was cause he heard us the other time in the music room with our scores. Then this time, open hall, no scores, he say he never felt the goosebump he had when he first heard us sing. So today must memorise by hard. Then we watched the rest of the rehearsal, i can say i simply sucks coz all of us never prepare.
After that, around 10 o'clock ready so we assembled outside the hall waiting to enter. We waited and waited and waited at around 11.15, P Chan finally get to speak, please do note that we were suppose to go back at 11.10. So we got held back a little. Half of us were glad she finally spoke, while the other half was let in greater dismal as she has a gd record for having long speeches. Not letting us down, she had a 45 min long speech. It was plain torturing. We were restless and i was quite nervous ( after so many experiences) and being kept in a nervous state for 45 min was not fun. I had to resort to banging my head against the wall to overcome my nervousness but didnt work. Lots of other methods like squeezing people, running around in an enclosed area, all didnt work. Worst still, when ever the crowd clapped, we tot it was out turn and then she continues to talk!!!
When she finally stopped, we sang Auld Lang Syne lota of times, our goal was to keep singing till she ended her walk. Our estimation was around 4 repidition , long enuf to take her time to stroll down. Who knew she would hug almost everyone. We sang an estimated of 111 times( someone counted ) instead of the planned 4 times. It was like i was busy laughing cum singing cum asking. As in i was singing and shot my friends around me qns when ever i took a breath and talked how slow she was. At the same time, when they told a joke, i wld laugh and smile my words, it was quite dunny how we handled the hilarious situations and yet maintained our singing, might not be loud though. Then the whole time i was like a smiling fool. Saw our class and a few people were so short they were like near impossible to spot, didnt see everyone from our class.
Then again, i have waited 2 years for her to leave, two hours on a wednesday for a 5 min run trough of the song, and another 2 hour for all the speeches!
P.S sorry if i have been quiet or smwhat bad mood these few days, or if i made some angry by them missing the class.
